Nintendo may introduce Blu-ray enabled Wii

[Bebeluv]

An unsuspecting informant accidentally stumbled upon a Blu-ray enabled Wii while visitng Nintendo's R&D facility. Apparently the bathroom wasn't that easy to find.

 

While searching for the bathroom, the unnamed informant took a wrong turn Willy Wonka style and opened the wrong door. Upon entering the room, he noticed a small group of Nintendo employees (engineers?) watching a movie on what looked like a Nintendo Wii. The informant recounted the details to the Sarcastic Gamer, but made it unclear if the movie playing abilites were a hardware add-on, a software upgrade, or a brand new Wii model. Regardless, he took several mental notes about the situation:

 

    * The remote control to control movie playback attached itself to the Wii-mote nunchuck style.

    * The drive slot glowed blue while the disc was in but faded to black when the disc was removed

    * The Nintendo employees quickly ejected the disc and placed it in what was undeniably a Blu-ray disc case

    * There was an extra Wii channel titled "Wii Watch" emblazoned with a Blu-ray logo

 

This discovery comes after Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime hinted at an upcoming surprise for the Nintendo Wii during a Gamehead interview. "The surprise is coming," he teased, "by the end of September."

 

"I can't help but wonder," says the Sarcstic Gamer, "if Sony's Peter Dille knew about this upcoming feature roll out when he made his now famous 'HD-DVD dead within months' claim a short while ago."

LinkDet hadde vært litt morsomt:P

Har mine tvil. Men hvis de slipper en ny Wii med blue-ray blir jeg forbanna. Wii har ikke vært ute et år en gang! Da kjøper jeg meg heller en PS3 hvis jeg skal ha blu-ray...

Ja, blir ikke akkurat aktuelt å bytte ut Wii'n min til en ny med Blu-Ray nei. Blir nok en PS3 istede

Tipper det er mer heller en software oppgradering for DVD avspilling fremfor en blu-ray maskin. Nintendo vet at det er dyrt å produsere enheter med blu-ray spiller, så jeg tviler at de blir å gjøre Wii noe dyrere bare for blu-ray avspilling. Da tipper jeg mer på DVD avspilling istede.

Med Nintendo sin fiendlighet mot multimedia styr på konsoll har eg mine tvil.

Dette tviler jeg sterkt på, selv om det unektelig hadde vært litt artig, hvis prisen blir 2000kr mindre enn PS3...

Husker at rundt juletider i fjor(rundt lanseringen av Wii) var det snakk om at det ville komme en annen "versjon" av Wii'en og at den ville ha DVDspiller.

Men no way at nintendo tar ibruk Blu-ray.
